Cairn des Grays
The Cairn des Grays (also called Dolmen des Grays ) is located near the Atlantic , south of Billiers near Vannes in the Morbihan department in Brittany in France .
From the parking lot on the beach about 500 meters west along the coastal path you get to the remains of a large cairn . On the remains of the hill, above the Vilaine estuary , there are many large rocks. A closer look reveals that it is a cairn about 30.0 meters in diameter with three to five passage dolmens ( French dolmen à couloir ), two of which have some of their capstones in situ . The configuration is comparable to Min Goh Ru in Larcuste .
The complex has been classified as a Monument historique since 1934 .
Nearby is the Dolmen du Crapaud .
